“Here’s the deal: This is the way that you inspire children and individuals to be better than what they are.”
Watch how you can transform Mr. Rhodes’s classroom:
Our kids need all the opportunities they can get. They need you.
It’s no secret that hands-on learning prepares kids for success in their future careers. But with so many other demands on their time, teachers can find it hard to incorporate this critical learning style into their classrooms.
That’s where you come in.
“Project based learning is so important because it’s the next generation of jobs, it’s the next generation of education.”
You can make learning come to life when you support a school garden.
For Mr. Rhodes’s 3rd grade class, the impact through their school garden has been undeniable.
In the garden, important math concepts are clicking. Students are stepping up and showing leadership and responsibility. Field trip behavior is improving. Healthier choices are happening in the lunchroom.
Because of donors like you, students are lighting up with curiosity and excitement for learning.
“You’re investing not only in that child, but every child that goes out in that garden. And you might not ever even know that child, but what they’re gonna do when they get older is well worth anything that you ever could donate.”
We dream that someday every school in Alabama will have a teaching garden, so that kids just like Mr. Rhodes’s 3rd graders can have access to as many opportunities as possible.
But it won’t happen without your help.
This holiday season, bring learning to life through the garden. Our students’ future depends on it.
